Answers:
You'll be sore for a while I suggest Aleeve of Ibuprofen (Usually found in Tylenol)
Sugarless gum and regular gum has never stuck to my braces, just avoid bubble gum
You can suck on caramels and Tootsie rolls and the like no problem, just don't chew them!.
Your toothbrushes are going to go bad sooner, so don't invest in $15 toothbrushes
DON'T use whitening toothpastes at all, otherwise when you get of your braces you'll have dark patches on your teeth
Keep a few toothpicks on you, nothing is more annoying than having something stuck in the back of your mouth all day
In all my experience, I have never lost a bracket to popcorn, just don't bite down on the unpopped seeds!. (not that people usually to that)
Corn on the cob is feasible, but not pretty!. Avoid it if you're somewhere nice or aren't going to be able to pick out your mouth anytime soon!.
Bracket wax seems to love to fall off, so rub it on and smooth it onto the bracket ridges!.
If you do any type of oral presentation be sure to articulate, otherwise your words will slur (I know it won't seem like it, but it happens)
And finally, after you get your braces adjusted, take a pain killer as soon as you leave so you won't be in pain !. Trust me, your mouth will get sore!.
Hope that helped, good luck!

I have braces, top and bottom, and they're no big deal, really!. They take a while to get used to, sometimes you drool a bit, but other than that, you should be fine!.
Also, brushing your teeth becomes a pain, but floss and brush as your orthodontist recommends!. It's better than getting cavities and permanently stained teeth!.
The wax they give you is useless, throw it away!.
Follow the food guides!. You get used to that as well, and lose your taste for the foods that are forbidden to you!.
Good luck with them!Www@Answer-Health@Com

How to deal with them!? do you mean how to take care of them or how to make them stand out less!? If you are talking about how to make them stand out less, i suggest getting white braces!. I've never had braces before (but i may need them later, not looking forward to it) but I've noticed that when people get color, especially "rainbow" it's a real eye-sore!. That's pretty much the only thing that you can do about them unfortunately, but i guess the other option is invisiline!? Sorry, i don't know if that helped but good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I had them for a year and a half!.!. they do take some getting used to!. Your orthodontist should give you some wax that you will want to keep with you for a while, so you can put it on the metal if it starts hurting your mouth!. Also, it was really hard for me to give up sticky candy and bubble gum,!. but they are really bad with braces and get stuck and nasty!. You should also have a special brush to clean your braces with so there's no embarrassing food pieces and stuff stuck in your mouth!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
I am a dental hygienist and trust me, the 3 most important things you need to commit to when you have braces, is brushing very thoroughly along your gumline, using floss threaders to floss under your arch wire and thus, under your gums and between your teeth EVERY DAY, and lastly, rinsing with a prescription strength fluoride rinse every day, as this will prevent the otherwise unavoidable and permanent "white spots" that appear when the brackets are removed at the end of treatment!. Good luck!! Oh, and wear your retainer FAITHFULLY after your braces come off!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I got braces in December and I know heaps about it!.
the first thing is our get spacers which are rubber bits that go in between a couple of teeth (they are on for 3 days or so) and the after that it is 1 and a half hours while the orthodontist puts your braces on!. it takes about a week to get used to them (eating and cleaning feels weird as for that week)
Every six weeks you'll get your braces tightened and then you may get elastics which are rubber bands to pull your overbite back!.
They are annoying to get in but you'll get used to it quickly!.
With eating be careful because chips and nuts and some biscuits and get wedged between teeth and it can be annoying to get out!. Don't have sticky lollies (redskins, bubble gum) or if you do just suck on them!.
have fun with it all LOLWww@Answer-Health@Com

take Tylenol before you go in, eat yogurt for the next couple days, and take good care of them, like brush twice a day, rinse twice a day, and floss daily!. I would keep taking Tylenol for about 3 days, and then you should be fine, just a little sore!. After about 2 weeks, your mouth should be feeling as good as it did before you got your braces on, and you can eat whatever you want!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
well brush your teeth alot, carry one of those pipe cleaner looking things with you all the time[ they usually have them at the ortodontist]!. those help get stuff out of your teeth!. use wax for pokey wires but not for a long time you should go get the pokey wires un pokey lol!. yeah no whiting tooth past gum or mouth wash!. i cheewed gum and it didnt stick to my braces so you can if your heart disires :] other than that they talk to you alllll about it after they put them on!. and when you get them tightined your going to need alott of pain killers and proably will lose 5 pounds each time, [you wont be able to eat]!. MOST OF ALLL THOUGH!.!.!.!. wear your retainer after you get your braces of!!!!! seriously your teeth will move and all that pain and time will go to watse wear it everynight for the rest of your life, no joke

Patience and know that the outcome makes it all worth it!. There is going to be pain but there is tylenol or advil for that!. My son just got his off and my daughter just got the spacers put in so she can get started!. Everybodys process is soooo different!. My son had 12 teeth pulled, my daughter needs none out so it's so different!.

Even if people critizie you, do not care about it!. Forgive them, and do not care about critizim, if any!. I always thought that braces on girls was cute!. Made their teeth sparkle!. Here is some advice I have heard!. Never kiss someone who has braces!. They can get locked, and you will be stuck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Everyone is different as far as pain but I would suggest only drinking liquid for the first day or two as your getting used to them and as much as it may hurt brush your teeth because it actually helps with the pain and if you have really bad pain take an Advil!. Good luck!!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Eat before you get them because it will hurt if you do it after!. And take Advil or Tylenol to help with any pains for the next few days after you get them!. Ice cream is a good soother!. And your teeth are going to be very sore after you get them so take it easy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
they are going to hurt, so eat lots of soup!. and avoid smiling with your teeth after you eat, you'll prolly have food in them and make sure you brush your teeth a lot!.

magnets don't stick in them!.
So, for maybe a week, eat soft, cold foods (slushies, melted ice cream, ect!.)
Braces aren't too bad! You will feel a bit of pain, but soon, you won't even feel they are there!

Don't pick at the metal braces!. Clean them thoroughly!. ***** thoroughly that you didn't get invisoline because the orthodontist claims that they aren't durable (a lie, my metal braces broke incredibly often)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
eventually, you wont even notice they're on you, but for the time being, cold ice cream helps some of the pain (if you have any) and always keep some wax in case anything starts to feel abrasive or poke you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
